چکیده

This paper proposes different types of exact (or approximate) confidence intervals and exact (or approximate) joint confidence regions for the parameters of the twoparameter lifetime distribution with bathtub-shaped or increasing failure rate (IFR) function based on a type II right censored sample. Moreover, we provide optimal criteria for finding a best exact (or approximate) confidence interval and a best exact (or approximate) joint confidence region among these estimations. Two examples are used to compare our proposed method to the existing approach of [Statistics & Probability Letters 49 (2000) 155]. 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Bayesin estimation and prediction whit multiply type-II censored sample of sequential order statistics from one-and-two-parameter exponential distribution

In this article introduce the sequential order statistics. Therefore based on multiply Type-II censored sample of sequential order statistics, Bayesian estimators are derived for the parameters of one- and two- parameter exponential distributions under the assumption that the prior distribution is given by an inverse gamma distribution and the Bayes estimator with respect to squared error loss ...

Comparison of three Estimation Procedures for Weibull Distribution based on Progressive Type II Right Censored Data

In this paper, based on the progressive type II right censored data, we consider estimates of MLE and AMLE of scale and shape parameters of weibull distribution. Also a new type of parameter estimation, named inverse estimation, is introdued for both shape and scale parameters of weibull distribution which is used from order statistics properties in it. We use simulations and study the biases a...

Optimization of Random Sample Size in Progressively Type II Censoring based on Cost Criterion

So far censored samples have been studied by many researchers. One of the most important methods of censoring is progressively type II censoring. An interesting issue in the discussion of censoring is determination of the optimal sample size. Various factors are influential in determining the appropriate sample size, the most important of which is the sampling cost criterion. In this paper, ass...
